This well-presented one-bedroom flat in Longfield Estate offers 525 sq ft of practical living space in a central SE1 location. The 15ft reception room is bright and west-facing, opening onto a private balcony that catches afternoon sun. A separate 9ft kitchen and a larger-than-average 15ft bedroom provide clear room separation and comfortable proportions for everyday living.
The building benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, lift access and fast broadband — practical features for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The 102-year lease offers long-term security, while the service charge (£1,812pa) and minimal ground rent (£10pa) are typical for managed estate blocks. On-street residents’ permit parking is available but there is no allocated parking bay.
Location is a major draw: tree-lined streets with easy access to Borough, Bermondsey Street and the Bermondsey Beer Mile, plus London Bridge and Bermondsey stations within walking distance. Local amenities include markets, parks and strong bus links (including night routes), making this a convenient base for city life.
Noteworthy points to consider include the estate’s wider area classification as deprived, the building’s mid-20th-century construction (1950–1966), and the annual service charge which adds to running costs. There are no listed major structural issues recorded, but buyers seeking period features or private parking may find this property less suitable.
